Build a simple android app

We just saw how adding a Button generates the XML for us. Now let's write the XML by hand. Start simple by adding a Button element. Copy and paste the TextView element and just change 'TextView' to 'Button'. -- i need help

activity_main.xml 
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent" >

  <TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
